VII. Salvation
The conclusion of the whole matter.
Salvation comes from God alone!
Psalm 3:8
"Salvation belongeth unto the LORD ..."
We will now
sum up what we have learned
about Salvation and assurance of it.
A. Step one- Do you believe God's Word that says you are a sinner?
Ro 3:9 "What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved
both ____ and _______, that they are ___ under sin;"
Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is _____ righteous, no, not ___:"
Ro 3:23 "For all have _______, and come short of the glory of God;"
It is obvious from these scriptures, and many others that agree with them, that everyone
on earth, both Jew and Gentile (non-Jew), are sinners.
B. Step two- Do you
believe God's Word that tells of condemnation for sin?
Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Heb 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the _________:"
Rev 20:11 "And I saw a _____ _____ _____, and him that sat on it, from whose
face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."
Rev 20:12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were
opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were
_______ out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
Rev 20:13 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and _____ and ____ delivered
up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."
Rev 20:14 "And death and hell were cast into the ____ __ ____.
This is the _______ _____."
Rev 20:15 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the _____ __ ____."
The Bible is plain concerning condemnation. All who die without Christ as Saviour will go to Hell
and, at the final judgment, they will be cast body and soul into the Lake of Fire forever.
C. Step three- Do you
believe God's Word that says He loves you and doesn't want you to be condemned?
II Pet 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, ___ willing that any should perish,
but that ___ should come to repentance."
John 3:17 "For God sent ___ his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be ______."
John 3:18 "He that believeth on him is ___ condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
Ro 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet ______, Christ ____ for us."
Remember this- God loves us just the way we are, lost, but too much to leave us that way!
John 3:16 "For God so ______ ___ _____, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever _________ in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
D. Step four- Will
you obey God's Word that says you must ask for His Salvation and believe that
you can have it through Christ alone?
Ro 10:8 "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth,
and in thy heart: that is, the word of _____, which we preach;"
Ro 10:9 "That if thou shalt ______ with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt _______ in thine heart that God hath raised him from
the dead, thou shalt be ______."
Ro 10:10 "For with the heart man _________ unto righteousness;
and with the mouth __________ is made unto salvation."
Ro 10:13 "For whosoever shall ____ ____ the name of the Lord shall be ______."
And do you believe it is by grace alone without your works?
Eph 2:8 "For by _____ are ye saved through faith; and
that ___ of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"
Eph 2:9 "___ __ ____, lest any man should boast."
Rom 11:6 "And if by grace, then is it __ ____ of works:
otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works,
then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work."
E. Summary.
If you have done these things that God in His Bible has told you to do, then you do have God's salvation. You have believed God's gospel and not some other gospel that will send you to Hell instead of take you to Heaven!
God warned us about the false gospels.
Gal 1:6 "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that
called you into the grace of Christ unto _______ gospel:"
Gal 1:7 "Which is ___ another; but there be some that trouble you,
and would _______ the gospel of Christ."
Gal 1:8 "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
let him be ________."
Gal 1:9 "As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel
unto you than that ye have received, let him be _________."
Eph 2:8 "For by _____ are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"
Eph 2:9 "Not of works, lest any man should boast."
So if you have believed God's
gospel and accepted Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, as your personal Saviour, then you do have God's Salvation!
Continue on- no test yet.
A. Step one- Do you believe God's Word that says you have eternal/everlasting life through Christ?
B. Step two- Have you repented of your sin; i.e., turned your back upon it in sorrow for what you have done?
C. Step three- Have you cast all hope of reaching Heaven upon God's grace and mercy- and included NONE of your works in your hope of receiving Salvation?
D. Step four- Have you confessed Jesus Christ as Saviour by praying to God and accepting Christ?
E. Step five- Good works. After your profession of Christ, do you have a desire toward doing good works and have you observed godly fruit in your life and a decrease in the amount of attraction to sinful pursuits; i.e., have you maintained good works after Salvation and by doing so have shown to yourself and others that you truly do have a living faith instead of a dead faith?
F. Step six- Do you now exhibit a godly love for your brothers and sisters in Christ?
G. If you answered
"Yes" to all six of these questions, then they will give you God's
promised assurance from His Word that you truly have God's Salvation and an escape from Hell and
a guarantee of a Heavenly home and eternal/everlasting life
that can never be taken away or lost by anything that you or anyone or anything in God's
spiritual or physical creation can do, and a promise of an inheritance with Christ.
God has promised in His Word and
all we can do is accept it:
I Jn 5:10
"He that believeth on the Son of God hath the
witness in himself: he that believeth not God
hath made him a liar; because he believeth
not the record that God gave of his Son."
I Jn 5:11
"And this is the record, that God hath given
to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."
I Jn 5:12
"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that
hath not the Son of God hath not life."
I Jn 5:13
"These things have I written unto you that
believe on the name of the Son of God; that
ye may _____ that ye have eternal life, and
that ye may believe on the name of
the Son of God."
Salvation comes from God alone and
can only be attained by God's plan!
Psalm 3:8
"Salvation belongeth unto the LORD:
thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah."
Now we can add to this the fact that once
we are saved, then we are kept by God's
power. And since God's power is eternal
and His veracity unchallengeable, then
when He tells us that the life He gives us
in Christ will have no end, that it is eternal
and everlasting, and that it can not be
abrogated by any person or thing, not even
ourselves, then we must conclude that our
Salvation will last forever!
John 10:28
"And I give unto them eternal life; and
they shall never perish, neither shall
any man pluck them out of my hand."
Now we also know that it is sustained by the
eternal God in the force of His eternal power
and is unassailable by any finite power
exercised by man or devil.
Dan 4:35
"And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed
as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in
the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants
of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or
say unto him, What doest thou?"
And we can have assurance that it is truly ours;
first off because God says so, but also because
our good works that follow it, including our love
for the brethren, help reassure us that it truly is so.
II Tim 3:15
"...thou has known the holy scriptures, which
are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus."

Sethisto at Equestria Daily already said it, so we'll say it again. With the Movie two weeks away, this is an opportunity to re-energize the fandom as a whole and introduce MLP to a new set of fans and keep the brand worthy of is franchise status at Hasbro. Nerf may be the biggest brand, but MLP is arguably the second most popular right now behind Transformers.
Yes, viewership of the show is down, but it's been down across the board for shows that have been around for more than a season and at least we still get to see the show on a weekly basis as opposed to the likes of Steven Universe and The Lion Guard to which Cartoon Network and Disney Channel, respectively, shows it when it gets around to it. Besides, most fans primarily see the show online whereas Discovery Family is still part of that extra package you have to spend extra on most cable systems while Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel are still part of the basic tier.
I've been saying for almost a year now that Hasbro has put a lot of effort into the Movie and it all culminates towards October 6th. Forget Rotten Tomato scores and neigh-sayers for the moment. Sia's "Rainbow" song already has over two million views on here VEVO YouTube channel and has been met with mostly positive reviews. The third trailer has over 5.5 million hits on Hasbro's channel. Oh, have I mentioned there's Liev Schreiber, Emily Blunt, Zoe Saldana, Taye Diggs, Michael Peña, Kristen Chenoweth, and Uzo Aduba in addition to the voice cast of Friendship is Magic that we all know and love.
If you indeed have read the junior novelization or the art book, that's fine. However, there's nothing that beats the actual experience of seeing the Movie itself in the movie theater. I recall when fans traveled miles on end to see the first Equestria Girls movie in theaters during special showings. Personally, I hope the same effort is made if the Movie is not showing at your nearest movie theater. As for pirate copies to YouTube, there is a time and a place for everything. With regards to the Movie, there is neither.
Naturally, there are things that we will not be able to control such as a bad review from a movie critic (who most likely will not have seen the show at all prior to reviewing it and/or dismiss it because it's not Disney/Pixar) or a Rotten Tomatoes score that does not rival Zootopia. It would be nice if the Movie made as much money as Zootopia, but that's unlikely. However, it would be nice if it made over $125 million domestically at the box office.
Above all else, let's remind ourselves about what drew us into Friendship is Magic in the first place. I would like to think that most of us were drawn in because of its positive and bright message and the characters (flaws and all). Didn't some of us hope for the day that the ponies—and not human versions thereof—would hit the big screen for a movie of their own? That day is two weeks away!
This is a chance to re-energize the fandom and to introduce us a new collection of fans to what those in the fandom have known for seven years now, that not only is this not your parents' My Little Pony, but these ponies are awesome! Go watch the movie!

NH man killed in 3-vehicle crash at Somersworth intersection
SOMERSWORTH — A man has died from injuries sustained in a three-car crash in Somersworth on Thursday.
Somersworth police said they responded to the intersection of Blackwater and Old Rochester roads at about 8:23 a.m. after receiving multiple reports of a three-car collision.
When police arrived, they learned the driver of a Chevrolet Cobalt that was involved in the wreck had sustained serious injuries.
The man, identified as Joseph Gibson, 45, of Rochester, was transported to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Police said the intersection was temporarily closed for their investigation. They determined that the Cobalt was traveling west on Blackwater Road, and a witness said the collision happened in the intersection.
Police said their investigation is ongoing.

Victims of crime are calling on the New South Wales Government to increase funding for compensation, after the scheme was scaled back four years ago.
The scheme provides money to people who have suffered from sexual assault, domestic violence or other crimes and are not able to sue an institution or organisation in order to receive compensation.
In 2013, the State Government cut the scheme significantly, and lowered the amounts of money people could receive.
Greens MP David Shoebridge is calling on the Government to boost funding of the scheme.
"These are victims who have nowhere else to go … now they are being treated with insulting payments," he said.
"This is the chance to prioritise the needs of victims … they've literally stolen the payments from them, with a tiny fraction of the New South Wales state budget we could make this vastly fairer."
Find out more about the harsh retrospective cuts to the rights of victims of crime forced through in 2013.

There is only one issue that interests me in the O.J. Simpson case: Is he or is he not a brutal, nightmarish murderer?
Everything else, as far as I'm concerned, is a lot of silly babble.
Some examples:
We keep hearing that this is the "fall of an American hero."
This is what I know about O.J. Simpson as a public person.
He was very good at running, especially clutching a football while being chased by 11 other football players.

So, Kaye and I did well with our fundraising yesterday. We've managed to raise £265 in two days. In fact, with the Gift Aid, we have already broken through our £300 target.
We're both lucky to be surrounded by a group of very generous friends and family, who have been incredible with their support. But personally I have still found it to be quite an unpleasant experience asking people for money.
This is not because I thought any of them would mind me asking, or begrudge giving the money to charity, but because it is just not a very natural thing to ask people for their hard earned cash without feeling a degree of guilt at the same time.
The only thing which has made it bearable is the fact that I have been able to explain that I am going to be putting myself through a slightly unpleasant experience for this cause.
Tell anyone who cares about you that you will be sleeping outside during November, and they are pretty willing to pay some sponsorship towards it. It's almost as though they feel this is their way of giving you a warm blanket for the night.
I know that's not the point. The point of the sponsorship should be all about the wonderful things the charity is doing, and I'm sure that helping a good cause is at least one part any sponsor's motivation.
But look at any JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving page and most of the messages from sponsors will be words of good luck for the people raising the money rather than heart-felt thoughts about the good work the charity does.
That's just the reality of the situation and charities need to tap into the fact that although the people who sign up to take part in events may feel some kind of connection to the cause, the people sponsoring them may not.
I think that both the events themselves and the ways that participants can ask for sponsorship need to be tailored to make the most of this reality.

Top ten buyers take third of 2008 chip business
Sales of semiconductors to the top ten original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) dropped away slightly in 2008, falling 3.8 per cent from 2007 to $91.6bn. The top ten accounted for one-third of all semiconductor consumption, according Gartner, with PCs and mobile phones representing the bulk of the business.
To make the top ten, companies needed to buy $6bn in chips, said Alfonso Velosa, research director at Gartner, about $0.1bn more than in 2007. And unit shipments to the top ten grew in 2008 over 2007. "PCs are such a big part of the business. Memory just collapsed: the pricing in the memory marketplace pulled the total sales down," he explained.
HP remained the leading OEM for semiconductor consumption, accounting for $16.5bn in 2008 — little changed from 2007 – despite a significant increase in unit shipments. As the top PC maker, HP was the leading consumer of microprocessors and memory semiconductors.
The big winner of 2008 was Apple. According to Velosa, the Macintosh maker's success provides a guide to what semiconductor companies need to be aware of for the future, with a much greater emphasis on software to pull together the functions of different kinds of chip, rather than the performance of individual elements. The main reason for Apple's rise from ninth position to number six in the top ten, with semiconductor purchases of around $7bn, was the iPhone.
Pointing to Nintendo, which is well outside the top ten but shows a similar approach to that of Apple, Velosa said: "They have a good understanding of chips: ASICs, ASSPs and MEMS sensors, along with the software. Look at the products that Samsung and Nokia, they are thinking about how they compete with the iPhone.
"Things like the Nintendo Wii are indications of where we see big electronics companies going in the future. It is an opportunity for the big semiconductor companies to work with these firms," Velosa added. "They need to understand how the different sensors work and how they fit together in the system. They were concentrating on speeds and feeds but they forgot about how important the software is. The functionality in the software is what they have woken up to."
Other changes are more subtle but are affecting the chipmaking business. "These guys in the top ten buy a third of all semiconductors. The changes in their strategy have their repercussions," Velosa claimed, pointing to a trend away from using ASICs to ASSPs.
"Nokia changed its strategy and that is having real repercussions. They are moving towards ASSPs and that is helping to roil up the mobile [silicon] market," said Velosa, pointing to ST's plans to absorb both NXP's mobile-chip business and Ericsson Mobile Platforms and Freescale's plans to divest its own operation. "That partly relates to economies of scale but also to the question of how you are going to deal with the big customers.
"Since Nokia is the world's largest vendor of mobile phones, this shift will continue to have a major impact on the semiconductor market."
Although the top ten is made up primarily of consumer-market companies, Velosa said industrial and automotive companies are important in the top 30. "And a lot of companies are doing stuff in solar energy," he claimed.

If you are serious about protecting your people, assets,
and interests in Korea, Japan, or the region, this is the report.
Erudite Risk's North Korea Monitor is the most relevant and effective crisis management
planning tool available for dealing with the threat of North Korea-related conflict on the Korean Peninsula.
The North Korea Monitor report is normally 12-14 pages in length, including front cover page and back page.
"A conflict in North Korea would be probably the worst kind of fighting in most people's lifetimes...This regime is a threat to the region, to Japan and South Korea and in the event of war they would bring danger to China and to Russia as well. But the bottom line is it would be a catastrophic war if this turns into a combat if we're not able to resolve this situation through diplomatic means."
-- US Secretary of Defense James Mattis, May 28, 2017
"It would be horrific, and it would be a loss of life unlike any we have experienced in our lifetimes, and I mean anyone who's been alive since World War II has never seen the loss of life that could occur if there's a conflict on the Korean Peninsula...But as I've told my counterparts, both friend and foe, it is not unimaginable to have military options to respond to North Korean nuclear capability. What's unimaginable to me is allowing a capability that would allow a nuclear weapon to land in Denver, Colorado. That's unimaginable to me. So my job will be to develop military options to make sure that doesn't happen."
-- US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joe Dunford, July 22, 2017
"A war on the Korean Peninsula would be terrible. However, a nuclear weapon detonating in Los Angeles would be terrible. The fact of the matter is we are at a point in time where choices are going to have to be made one way or the other."
-- US Army Chief of Staff, General Mark Milley, July 27, 2017
The North Korea Monitor is a uniquely valuable resource.
Erudite Risk's North Korea Monitor (NKM) is a framework-driven analysis product. We go beyond simply talking about North Korea or explaining our geopolitical take on the situation. Erudite Risk's analysis is driven by a crisis management framework built for a specific purpose: helping organizations make better, earlier, decisions in a crisis environment where good decision-making is uniquely difficult.
Erudite Risk's NK Crisis Management Framework was developed over the course of 15 years of helping companies in South Korea prepare for a potential conflict. Our framework is complete; it covers all possible levels of risk and the responses appropriate to them. The North Korea Monitor seamlessly integrates into any complete crisis management plan for Korea or Japan as environmental trigger and indicator data.The North Korea Monitor keeps track of essential triggers and indicators occurring in and around the crisis theater.
We then apply those triggers to time- and speed-based crisis management scenarios so that you have guidance in implementing and executing your entity's crisis management plan. We provide timely understanding of the situation on the ground so that you can see emerging trends and discern the overall direction the crisis is heading.
ER's North Korea Monitor provides coverage of a prioritized basket of triggers and indicators we have selected based on their importance to decision-making. Out of the hundreds of triggers and indicators seen in the environment, we have filtered out all but the most important ones. The NKM covers many indictors each week, but the report prioritizes a subset of triggers that enhance and clarify decision-making rather than further cloud the issues. Information should make decisions easier, not more difficult.
What is in the report?
1. Dashboard
The NKM Dashboard includes an executive summary that covers:
- The current status
- What has changed
- Why you should care
- What the sentiment on the ground is now
The Dashboard also includes a summary of currently witnessed triggers and indicators, displayed within the ER NK Crisis Framework, as well as other surveyed indicators such as the Korean stock market, foreign exchange forecast, and US State Department and UK Foreign Office advisories. Two additional key Korean government indicators are also surveyed each week.
Three Months Out: The Dashboard also includes analysis of what to expect over the next 3 months, key dates to be aware from a risk point-of-view, and additional readings to consider to better understand the context and complete environment.
2. Environment

Ratan Tata to meet Buddhadeb todaySeptember 28th, 2008 - 11:03 am ICT by ANI
Kolkata, Sept 27 (ANI): Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata will meet West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today following Tatas request that he wanted to talk to Buddhadeb on Singur issue.
Addressing a students rallyhere on Saturday, Bhattacharjee said: I had written to the Tatas. I have received their letter today. In the letter Ratan Tata has said he wants to talk to me. I have said yes to that. The Chief Minister, however, did not divulge when Ratan Tata is expected to be in Kolkata.
West Bengal Industry Minister Nirupam Sen had earlier said, "A meeting between the State Government and Tatas may take place on Sunday to discuss the issue."
"The Chief Minister has written to Tata requesting him to restart work at the Nano plant at Singur," Sen said, and added that the Chief Minister in his letter had promised to extend all help and cooperation to the Tatas.
He also said the people of Singur and the state wanted the Tata project to remain at Singur.
On Friday, Bhattacharjee had asked Ratan Tata to restart work at Singur Nano project.
There has been no formal communication from the company to the State Government so far.
Work on the project has been suspended for nearly a month because of the protest by the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC).
Meanwhile, truckloads of material have started rolling out of the Singur Nano factory, a sign that Tata Motors is on an exit route from West Bengal .
Trouble began after the West Bengal government acquired 1000 acres of farmland for the Tata Motors small car plant at Singur last year.
The State Government offered compensation, which some farmers rejected.
The Trinamool chief has been demanding that at least 400 acres be returned to farmers.
The Government says it is in favour of a land-based solution for farmers but was against disturbing the Tata Motors plant site. (ANI)

In 2002, eight portable, trailer-mounted solar-powered cameras were positioned along Interstate 10 for a highway reconstruction project in New Orleans. In the ensuing years, both motorists and public safety staff came to rely on the images from these cameras.
As Hurricane Katrina approached the Gulf Coast in 2005, the Louisiana Department of Transportation asked that, rather than be secured from the storm, these cameras remain on station to provide live traffic images to assist in the evacuation. Not only did these cameras survive the hurricane force winds and driving rain, they continued to provide images from the city through the ensuing power blackout and until their own on-board electrical power submerged into the rising post-Katrina flood waters.

Review | Author Bio | Read an Excerpt
Calvin and Culture, the final volume of a series celebrating John Calvins 500th birthday, focuses on the impact that the teachings of Calvin have had on the social culture in the years following his life. Experts from various fields weigh in with their impressions on the mark Calvin and Calvinism have left. The book seeks to answer the question Is Calvinism a theological position only or is it a worldview?
In the field of history, Calvinism has developed an interpretive restraint that allows the Christian to find meaning in history while still holding that God has a perfect knowledge of history. Although God has revealed only part of His mind to man, He does reveal an extensive amount of material about Himself in nature, in His written Word, and in His revealed Word His Son. Calvinism impresses on the historian the realization that meaning will not be found outside the boundaries of Scripture. It is Scripture that gives meaning to historical events, nature, and society.
In the field of law, Calvinisms impact is seen most clearly in the ability of both Church and State to work together while still maintaining separate expectations, evaluations, and distinct responsibilities. A discussion of the arts reveals that Calvinism is hard to trace, but is not absent. Calvin taught, and his followers continue, a balance between the extremes of sentimentality and nihilism. This balance demonstrates that true hope is only found in God alone.
Calvins contribution to the discipline of economics is intriguing. Calvin himself was personally inconsistent with his teachings regarding finance and economics, yet his teachings have helped others make tremendous advances in the field. Calvins stance on economics most closely parallels a historical classical liberalism that viewed wealth as helpful, not evil.
Literature has benefited from Calvins teachings as well. A faithful application of Calvinism will result in the understanding that we are created to be creative beings who can recognize and appreciate beauty. While some will reject certain aspects of literature, Calvin teaches that not everything needs to be rejected simply because all cannot be approved. Calvin teaches an informed model of evaluation for literature.
By insisting that Gods glory is of primary concern and that the only reasonable dependence fallen mankind may have is on Gods grace, Calvinism has had a voluminous impact on the field of philosophy. Gods grace and glory are key to thinking and to processing those thoughts. This careful thinking naturally leads to how societies govern. Indeed, Calvinistic thought led to more participatory forms of government. While holding that God is sovereign over all, Calvin teaches that God gives individuals responsibility for their actions and governance.
When considering the field of science, John Calvin taught that Scripture is not at odds with science, nor is science a stumbling block to Scripture. In fact, they complement each other quite well. It is not Scripture or science that is at odds with one another it is the people trying to force one or the other into a pre-conceived notion or hypothesis.
Other chapters discuss Calvins impact on business, music, medicine, and journalism. Throughout the book, one is impressed with the realization that Calvin wanted people to become Christians, not Calvinists (p. 236). Indeed, it is this over-arching thought that characterizes not only Calvins life but this study of his impact on modern society. If believers today would focus more on increasing their knowledge of and familiarity with God, the impact on society would be just as great as the one made by the famous preacher from Geneva.
This book would be greatly helpful to clergy and laity, professional theologian as well as professional in any area of work. The helpful connections between what is believed and what is lived are carefully made and demonstrated. I commend it heartily. Charles Eldred, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com
Book Jacket:
John Calvins worldview extends far beyond the scope of theology, inspiring a multitude of followers to apply his thought to every form of human endeavor. The fourteen authors of Calvin and Culture: Exploring a Worldview, the final volume in the Calvin 500 series, explore the worldview of Calvin and his disciples. They demonstrate how Calvin has transformed many fields of human study and activity and how the power of his worldview continues to this day.

R. A. Doster Letter
(Written in pencil at top of letter): Tell momma to send me two pounds of butter by parcel post by next mail. R.A.D.
Dear Bro: I was sick yesterday with a cold and did not feel like going to Columbia but shall go next Sat. if I am able and I think that I am getting better. All the rest are well. Lurlin Beckus and little girl, and one of our nearest neighbors has pneumonia. Olive has gone now to see her.
Our old cow is still as dry as a bat. she doesn't seem to care whether we have any milk or not and don't believe she sares anything about a calf. If the hussy ever charnges her notion I will let you hear from me. Tell mamma to save me up some more butter and I will come after it next Sunday.
My school was very good last week for such a bad rainy time they don't seem to care what kind of weather just so that it's bad. I have a better attendance on bad days than when it is pretty.
What does papa think of Shields elections?
I am truly glad, I hope Lukes' back has been broken and that will never be able to crawl again. The thing Hooper had at his f ingers tips has gone beyond his reach. I am glad McKeller was not elected and I am glad old Crump never even got a consideration. I do not believe anything save an independent can stomach him anymore.
Old Tom is getting better slowly but the black mare (old Annie) was lame this morning. I believe the frog of her foot has been brusied or else she has sprained the ankle.
Did you sell old moses? I saw the miller and told him what pa said for me to.
Well I must close for I have just about finished up this paper.
Researcher's Note: This letter was written by Robert Alexander Doster. He mention's his wife Olive [Vevian (Lyon) Doster]. This letter was to either William Z.A. Doster jr or James Jasper Doster. His reference to Pa and Mamma is, William Z.A. Doster and Elizabeth (Moore) Doster. See William Z.A. Doster's Will. Both William and Elizabeth Doster are buried in Giles Co.
The letter was not dated, however, Robert and Olive married in 1894 and he died in 1913. Their first child was born 1895 and since there is no mention of any of the children, I would guess it was between 1894-1895.

Calvin Johnson, Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency
Perhaps the last place one would look for an advanced lesson in information management is on the tough streets of Washington, D.C., home to the fourth-highest crime rate for big cities in 2008, according to CQ Press, which compiles crime statistics. In fact, the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA), the federal agency that manages probations and paroles in the nation's capital, is using data warehousing and business intelligence in an intensive effort to reduce the city's recidivism rate and make its streets safer.
The results are impressive - and quantifiable. The agency's goal is to have 80 percent of the 15,000 offenders it supervises in a "successful posture," meaning that the people under CSOSA supervision are meeting the requirements of their parole or probation.
Over the past two years, the agency has made significant progress. In April 2007, that percentage stood at about 69 percent, according to Calvin Johnson, CSOSA's director of the Office of Research and Evaluation, but has since tracked up steadily. By February of this year, 74 percent of offenders the office supervises were found to be meeting requirements.
CSOSA's success can be traced back to 2002, when it went live with a homegrown case management system and statistical analysis software from SAS Institute. Over the years, it has built up its information management capabilities with BI, risk assessment, statistical mapping, GPS tracking and a data warehouse that links to a host of outside law enforcement databases. All the information flows into CSOSA's central repository where it is used by the agency to track offenders and their behavior, and also to track the organization's performance - from branch office operations to caseloads. That information helps supervisors better direct officers, who are able to more aggressively intervene in the field.
"We are better able to manage our resources," says Johnson, whose department is charged with being the agency's keeper of offender data and performance measures.
CSOSA faced many obstacles as it built up its analysis engine. Issues around systems requirements, data quality, metrics, training and change management all needed to be confronted and overcome.
Yet the agency persevered, and, earlier this year, CSOSA reached a major milestone. For years, CSOSA managers have had direct access to the case management system. But, in mid-April, the agency added 300 community supervision officers to the system. Front-line officers now have instant access to daily caseload reports, offender employment status, re-arrest information and risk-needs screening data, empowering them to make decisions in real time. For instance, officers on one team are now able to check out what other CSOSA teams are doing during the day. And, if one team making home visits is near the address of an offender who's scheduled to be visited that day by another team, the first team can take care of that visit, freeing other officers to do other work. "It will make them much more efficient and effective," says Johnson.
Looking ahead, the agency is planning to use its technology arsenal to move into predictive analytics in an effort to forecast which offenders might benefit from being placed in certain programs. Analytics can also be used to predict the outcome of a variety of the agency's daily processes, such as the issuance of bench warrants.
"We're constantly going through a process of knowledge discovery. And the more we learn, the more we build into the system," says Johnson.
Smart Way to Handle Offenders
Like all district agencies, CSOSA is a branch of the federal government, in this case responsible for parolees, people out on supervised release and probationers. "We're a federal agency with a local mission," says Bill Kirkendale, CSOSA's chief information officer. The total workforce is approximately 1,500, including many case officers working out of branches that deal with specific activities, such as substance abuse, mental health, domestic violence and sex offenders.
Since it was formed in 1997 with the merger of the city's probation and parole agencies, CSOSA has put information management at the center of its operation. It recognized from the outset that better tracking of its cases would allow it to spot potential problems, intervene accordingly and keep offenders from violating the terms of their parole or committing crimes.
But knowing which tools are needed to do a job right and having them in hand are not always one in the same. For instance, when the agency was formed, it managed disparate databases - one for the parole department and another for probation. So, one of CSOSA's first tasks was to consolidate the two data stores into one, but it didn't work out as planned. The system that was cobbled together, says Johnson, failed on "a regular and consistent basis." The agency needed something better.
So, in early 2002, CSOSA built a case management system, which it calls the Supervision and Management Automated Record Tracking (SMART) system. SMART is based on a Microsoft SQL Server database and software developed in house using Microsoft's development platform.
CSOSA calls SMART a Web-based case management and information retrieval system that includes information on offenders, their arrests, violations of their probation or parole, details about meetings with supervision officers and lists of any treatments or programs in which the offenders are enrolled. Not only does SMART give case managers information at their fingertips, the system also sends out alerts notifying officers of missed appointments or drug treatments, for instance.
But the move to the new case management system presented both data and change-management challenges. When SMART was first rolled out, there were data quality and data integrity issues. "We were all over the place with respect to how data was being entered," says Johnson.
In some cases, managers weren't inputting information into the case management system. Instead, they were keeping their own records. These managers believed they were working with all the right data, but in many cases, the numbers differed from those in the case management reports.
Another problem was that different offices within the agency were using different BI tools from SAS or Business Objects, and still others were using a BI package from Microsoft.
Once managers realized that there were different sets of data, they grew wary of the reports coming out of the system. "To them the case management system was a black hole," says Johnson. They had entered information into the system, but they didn't know how the data was being processed or whether the information in the resulting reports was strong enough to act on.
There were other ripples as well. The same records needed by the agency were also used by the city to issue re-arrests and by the courts in handing out sentences. If the agency couldn't straighten out its own data, CSOSA credibility with the city's other agencies would be undermined. Johnson knew that he had to get to a single version of the truth.
Warehousing Data, Not Criminals
Early on, Johnson reached out to the operations and technology departments within the agency and found agreement on the need for a data warehouse, a central data hub fed by multiple sources in which queries are performed without disturbing the source data.
Johnson's vision was to build a best practices data warehouse, one that would store only relevant, mission-critical data while being flexible and scalable. With the agency's approval, Johnson went ahead with the research team to lead the project.
Johnson, who has a Ph.D. in criminology, says it was natural for his research department to want to take charge because it's composed of statisticians, criminologists, social scientists and others who have a vested interest in accurate reporting. But Johnson also had the backing of Kirkendale, the agency's CIO. "One of the reasons this has been so successful is the respect I have for his drive [and] vision," Kirkendale says of Johnson. "There's been no territoriality."
In 2005, Johnson's team deployed a data warehouse using the SAS 9 enterprise intelligence platform from the SAS Institute. SAS 9 includes SAS Data Integration, which provides features for data connectivity, data quality, ETL (extract, transform and load), data migration and data synchronization. The integration product offers data cleansing tools from SAS subsidiary DataFlux. SAS 9 also includes SAS Business Intelligence, Analytics and Intelligence Storage, which stores and disseminates information for BI and analytic requirements.
The SMART case management system serves as the main source for the data warehouse. Data from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies - including records on court hearings, dispositions, sentencing, police bookings, prison release, drug testing and treatment and other files - is pulled into SMART and matched to the offenders in CSOSA's care.
Among the files feeding directly into the repository are arrest records from D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department and drug test results from the city's Pre-Trial Services Agency. Both are loaded directly into SQL Server tables.
There's a separate data feed though a secured data exchange from the Bureau of Prisons. The SAS Data Integration Server pulls text files on all offenders adjudicated in D.C. Superior Court who are set to return to the streets in the next 90 days, which gives CSOSA critical information to ready itself before those offenders are released. The data is then analyzed to see what percentage of officer caseloads are in a successful posture, how officer performance compares, how branches stack up against each other and other performance metrics.
Even though the research group is in charge of the data warehouse, the project has received critical support from Kirkendale's IT team. Johnson's staff has been loaned two IT staffers to make sure the data warehouse is properly structured and loaded on a regular basis. And another IT person is assigned to the department to manage and control the BI portal, including content, format structure, metadata: "the whole nine yards," says Johnson.
Screening Stats, Satellites
In 2006, CSOSA expanded SMART's risk-needs screening capabilities to help it figure out the right level of supervision for offenders and to assess their treatment and support services needs. A new tool was developed, called Auto Screener, that allows CSOSA officers to compile a long list of historical and social data points about an offender. The system classifies that person based on a scale developed by CSOSA - classifications include minimum, medium, maximum and intensive for the level of intervention needed - and then applies algorithms to generate a Prescriptive Supervision Plan for managing the offender's case.
"It is probably the most sophisticated screening instruments that parole, probation or supervision is using," says Kirkendale.
Based on predictive tendencies, Auto Screener allows CSOSA to identify if someone is high-risk. An example might be an offender who has tested positive for drugs and is not showing up for office appointments. The PSP then recommends a plan to intervene and to help the officer stay on top of the offender and his treatment.
Along with managing risk through records of violations, PSP can also take into account that an offender hasn't completed high school, which could be a separate risk factor. In those cases, PSP might then prescribe educational or vocational training. Kirkendale says CSOSA is planning to add categories for offenders who fall right at the line between two classifications so that the agency can be more precise and better tailor its efforts.
And CSOSA continues to expand its analytic capabilities. About two years ago, the agency added a presentation tool called SMART-STAT, modeled in part on the New York City Police Department's well-known CompStat system. SMART-STAT plots offender addresses and then, reaching into the data warehouse, pulls and displays information on offender drug treatment compliance, known contacts with other offenders, re-arrests and other data on a map of the city.
Problems are grouped so that trouble spots can be easily seen. Results from SMART-STAT are delivered to desktops throughout the agency, allowing CSOSA management to drill down to the performance of specific branch managers and case officers. "Nothing fancy, but it works," says Johnson.
CSOSA also monitors in real time some 800 offenders ordered to wear GPS ankle devices. The program is administered with a company called Satellite Tracking of People, or STOP, which provides the devices and collects information on battery and signal strength and on whether offenders violated curfews, entered "stay-away" zones or tampered with the device. The data is transferred from STOP to the CSOSA data warehouse over a secure FTP connection, giving CSOSA a high-level of visibility into the activities of those under house arrest.
A Look Into the Future
As mentioned earlier, CSOSA is looking to use its data warehouse and business intelligence tools to leverage predictive analytics in real time for decision support.
Predictive analytics would give the agency the ability to conduct what-if analyses - plugging offender, behavior and historical reference data into the system to suggest a likely outcome to everyday activities. One such use case is the issuance of arrest warrants, an involved process that requires supervision officers to spend a lot of time gathering records, sign-offs and other documentation. Even then, the courts may decide not to issue a warrant for an offender's arrest. With the use of predictive analytics, the agency can plug information on certain offenders, their behavior and prior histories and model the data against past cases to determine if a warrant's execution is likely to result in an arrest.
Predictive analytics could also be used to look at offenders with drug problems and, by analyzing their histories against available treatment programs, see which offenders are likely to benefit from placement in a given program.
Predictive analytics should make an officer's day more productive and supplement the skills he or she takes to the streets. "We need to develop intelligence - artificial intelligence - so the officer doesn't have to guess at it," says Johnson.
Even though predictive capabilities remain under development, Kirkendale says what CSOSA has done with its data warehouse and BI capabilities has already helped make the city's streets safer through its ability to track and intervene with offenders. They give the agency a critical tool to fine-tune its operations. And in many respects, they offer a powerful risk management system, ensuring that the organization doesn't miss a beat.
What CSOSA does in practice is not much different than the ways other IT shops tackle risk management, says Kirkendale. It absorbs large amounts of data, correlates it, and presents risk levels and threats that can then be prioritized and managed.
There is one distinction that keeps Kirkendale especially attentive to his duties. Because CSOSA's greater mission is to reduce recidivism and crimes that include armed robberies and murder, as he puts it, "The stakes are a lot higher."

Usagi Yojimbo #127

Twenty-three years after the character debuted, I've finally gotten around to reading a "Usagi Yojimbo" comic. This series has been one of the gaping holes in my comic book knowledge — something I've always meant to read, something I have pre-ordered in hardcover form, but a comic that I've never actually sat down and read, after all these years.
My first impression? It was exactly what I expected.
Issue #127 is, it turns out, a good place to start reading "Usagi Yojimbo," but my understanding is that almost any issue of this series is a good place to begin. Stan Sakai tells his stories so clearly, and so frequently uses the short story form or the single-issue tale, that this is a series that you can just jump into at any time. It's rare to find something like that these days.
I suppose I've always held off on "Usagi Yojimbo" because I didn't want to start anywhere other than at the beginning, though. I realize that's foolish, and I realize it even more after reading this issue, but that's one of the reasons that I haven't bothered to read even a single issue until now. The other reason is that I've always kind of conflated it with other mid-to-late 1980s black and white anthropomorphism, like the pals of Usagi, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As much as I may have enjoyed Eastman and Laird's Frank Miller pastiche a couple of decades ago, I've long lost interest in that type of comic.
"Usagi Yojimbo" isn't that type of comic.
Its anthropomorphism is incidental, as far as I can tell. Like the work of the great Norwegian cartoonist, Jason, Sakai just happens to draw humans as if they looked like animals. There's nothing about Usagi that makes him particularly rabbit-like, other than the way he's drawn. And the other ronin he meets in this issue, drawn as a dog, is basically just another human.
So what we get in this issue is a team up between two masterless samurai, trying to reclaim a sword from a pack of bandits. It's almost all fighting, with moments of characterization interspersed. It's direct, effective, and without sentimentality.
It's a comic that kids could understand, but it doesn't seem directed toward them. It's a comic that has grown-up concerns about duty and honor and violence, but it doesn't seem like a "mature readers" comic, either. It's just a comic. It's a comic drawn by a confident cartoonist who knows his characters, who knows his world — one who has an almost quaint DIY approach to comic book creation. It's just Stan Sakai, telling his stories the only way he knows how. Nothing flashy. Nothing fancy.
And it's good.

Having a member of our team just return from a trip to the Sardinian shores we thought we'd give you a little insight into why Sardinia should be next on your holiday destination wish list!
The Costa Smeralda
A hot spot for celebrities and holiday makers alike. Whether it's the luxurious lifestyle or the simply stunning coast lines people can't seem to get enough of Sardinia this summer. It's home to the rich and famous and all that goes with it, but there's more to the Costa Smerelda than meets the eye. If you look further afield than the super yachts that are moored in the wealthier areas such as Porto Cervo, Sardinia also plays host to some incredible ancient archaeological ruins such as nuraghes, tombs and necropoles.
Here's our breakdown of some must see locations along the Costa Smeralda...
Head inland and discover the history drenched town of Arzachena. With its origins steeped in mystery this area is full of different historical sites through the ages with the main focus on the Nuragic period. With so much to explore such as ancient villages made entirely out of stones called nuraghes, to tombs and even necropolis' there's plenty to see and discover here. For those of you looking to learn a little about the islands origins then this is the stop for you.
Porto Cervo
Next on the list is the islands most exclusive destination. With golf courses and private helipads scattering the coastline this port is home to some of the worlds wealthiest and most elite. Super yachts are a common sight in this area, with the VIP treatment never far from reality. Classy restaurants, swanky bars and clubs line the port and surrounding area so you can experience the true glitz and glamour in this wealthy Italian hideout. This is the destination for you if you're looking for Hollywood glamour in a stunning Italian environment.
Porto Rotondo
Again one of Sardinia's more luxurious destinations, Porto Rotondo is of the same calibre to Porto Cervo however it also pays tribute to some magnificent architecture. Some say this port has the highest volume of private jet traffic in Europe and with its scenic beaches where you feel like the only yacht in the ocean we can why it's so popular. If you want to combine both history and modern day extravagance then Porto Rotondo is the one for you. Home to the church of San Lorenzo, with its collection of over 200 wooden statues and a stunning amphitheatre made entirely of granite there is such a fantastic contrast between new and old it's one not to be missed.
Last but not least there's Portisco, our bareboat base on the island. Portisco is a stunning town tucked away by magnificent rock faces and white sand beaches. A popular stop for mariners and tourists alike Portisco has some envy inducing while slightly more reasonably priced restaurants with local seafood often on the menu. The marina has the possibility to accommodate all types of yachts which will ensure there's something to catch your eye. With our charters beginning here, this well located base, just a half an hour drive from Olbia airport is ideal for those wishing to explore the Costa Smeralda at their leisure. Whether you want to amble over to the Archipelago of La Maddalena National Park or simply saunter along finding undiscovered and deserted bays then Portisco is the one for you.
It's clear to us why Sardinia is proving such a popular destination, with everyone from celebrities to you and I flocking to this beautiful island to experience the wonders it has to offer. So why not check out what we have available from Sardinia this season and experience for yourself just what we're talking about!

March 31, 2014 15:00 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 31, 2014) - ISMP Canada is warning consumers and vendors of contact lens solutions of the potential for painful eye injuries if Clear Care contact lens cleaning solution is not used as directed. ISMP Canada's consumer medication incident program, SafeMedicationUse.ca, continues to receive reports from consumers who experienced severe pain and burning in the eyes after confusing Clear Care with a regular contact lens solution.
Unlike most other contact lens cleaning solutions, Clear Care contains 3% hydrogen peroxide, which can cause pain and burning if used directly in the eyes. For this reason, Clear Care solution should not be used directly in the eye or as a rinsing solution for lenses. Instead, it must be used only with a special lens case that neutralizes the hydrogen peroxide after a specific soaking time. Unfortunately, consumers have reported experiencing pain and burning in the eyes after improperly selecting and using Clear Care, believing it to be a typical multi-purpose contact lens cleaning and soaking solution.
In April 2013, a Health Canada advisory noted that manufacturers of contact lens solutions containing 3% hydrogen peroxide had been asked to update the labels of Canadian products to highlight the risks of improper use. Since then, warnings have been added to the outer and inner labels of the Clear Care product. However, ISMP Canada has received a report about an incident that occurred despite the new labelling. The consumer who reported the incident suffered severe pain due to a corneal burn.
"Too many consumers have suffered from corneal burns because they did not realize that this solution is different," says David U, President and CEO of ISMP Canada. "The Clear Care package and bottle resemble those of typical multi-purpose solutions, but Clear Care contains hydrogen peroxide, which is harmful if it comes in contact with the eye."
ISMP Canada had already published two SafeMedicationUse.ca alerts warning consumers about this issue, in 2010 and 2012. In addition, an alert for health professionals was published in a 2013 issue of the ISMP Canada Safety Bulletin. ISMP Canada has now issued a third alert reminding consumers not to assume that all contact lens solutions are the same and to follow product instructions carefully. The alert also provides tips for vendors of contact lens solutions, including a suggestion that contact lens solutions containing hydrogen peroxide not be stored beside multi-purpose solutions.
The manufacturer and Health Canada have been informed of the reported incidents.
